In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', the Star Barrels were replaced with [[Continue Point]]s. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', [[Professor Chops]] instead marks the checkpoint for the Kongs. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', the Star Barrels were replaced with [[Continue Point]]s.

Star Barrels have the same role as a checkpoint in each game they appear in. Every Star Barrel floats in the air, with the stars spiraling around the barrel circumference. If the [[Kong]]s jump at a Star Barrel, it breaks, and a shower of colorful sparkles rains upon them, indicating that it has been activated. This way, if the Kongs exit a level or lose an [[extra life]], they can resume from the Star Barrel's location. By doing so, the Star Barrel shakes, and the Kongs burst out of it. However, if the player gets a [[Game Over]] or restarts the game, the Kongs must restart from either the level itself or where the player last saved their game. A Star Barrel's effect also wears off when the Kongs complete a level. | Star Barrels have the same role as a checkpoint in each game they appear in.
